Chip collectors at Hard Rock
Table chip collectors and experts Gene Trimble and Mark Lighterman talk about chips and the Hard Rock, which -- get this, I'm sure you don't know -- rolls out blackjack at 6 p.m. June 22.
I'm not much of a chip collector, maybe because I'm too cheap. If I have a chip worth $25, I'm playing it. Then again, I don't bring home foreign money either, as a souvenir.
But I do find their reasoning for getting into chip collecting interesting. They both said they were sucked in by U.S. history -- gambling houses sprung up all over, especially after prohibition ended and bootleggers didn't have much to do.
If you want more info on what they do, go to www.floridachipcollectors.com. And for more about them, see the earlier post I did.
